Hi all. I recently downloaded a icon pack, installed it. But i didnt like the colour. I copied the icon pack's .apk file into my pc, opened it with winrar. There was a folder containing 2k icons. It was possible for me to change the hue using adobe photoshop. But that will take hell lot of time.:mad:

So wondering if anyone knows the solution to this. Modifying the icon simultaneously.

[Samsung Captivate Glide] TooG435:
Hello,

I've read through the Everything thread on Development, as well as searched using the xda search and google site search, but come up with nothing.

The Everything thread mentions that the current version of CWRM won't charge when the phone is off or in recovery, but I can't find anything about which version is the 'latest' (6.0.1.2, 5.0.2.7), nor if this also affects the TWRP recoveries (2.6.3, 2.4.1)? For that matter, I can't find anything that even mentions the charging problems at all aside from the Everything thread!

If there is a charging problem with all of the third party ROMs, is there a method to go back to the stock recovery after flashing in a ROM and backing up /efs/? I'm basically shooting for a fully functional phone and I don't plan on changing ROMs all over the place, just root and ICS.

Help?

Thanks!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bubor:
I think something like 6.0.4 the latest CWMR. ( you can build with http://builder.clockworkmod.com/ , Existing Device option doesnt work)

It charges in latest TWRP, you can see "+" char when on charge next to the battery level.

Stock uses recovery for official upgrade, and factory reset. We have only offline charge issue, but recovery has no effect on it. Offline charger works with a limitation. I wouldnt bother you with the explanation, since you said you would like to use stock ICS.

You can backup efs in rooted rom without recovery. You can always flash recovery with odin phone in download mode.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] TooG435:
Thanks.

I guess I had assumed the comment was referring to the builds in the Development forum, not the overall CWMR project! Is there a currently recommended recovery, or is it a toss up to personal preference? I'm not so much tied to ICS as tied to a completely working ROM - especially as I see all the bluetooth and skype issues with the JB ROMs, which (as far as I can tell) are still unresolved / unknown?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bubor:
I make TWRP for i927, we dont have other up to date, but you can build yourself.

Dont you have issue with stock ICS? I made up to date issue list in me CM 10.2, you could decide it suit for you or not, you may know stock limitation already.

I hope voip issue would be resolved soon.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] TooG435:
My only real requirement in a phone is that it be reliable - I don't want to have to pop out batteries or have no audio on calls if I get stranded in the middle of nowhere. At this point, my phone is still in the mail - got a used one from a friend, but it hasn't arrived, so I haven't had much ability to experiment yet.

My Android experience is exclusively with a Transformer TF101, which had 4.0.4 ICS stock and is currently running Katkiss JB 4.2.2_226 (Katkiss 4.3 isn't stable enough for me yet, was getting daily crashes last time I tried). All of the phone components are new to me - and the Glide seems to have a more fragmented recovery scene than the TF101, which is pretty much TWRP or nothin'

Thanks again for your help!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lingowistico:
What's up with this? What's the story on this? Is it CM/AOSP exclusive? Why???

I remember it first appeared last year with CM/AOSP ICS. Now i'm on 10.1.3 and it's still there.

When I make or recieve a call the volume in the headphones is way too high even though it says it's on the lowest setting.

So to lower the volume to it's actual lowest setting I have to press volume up once each time a call is being made/recieved.

This is an utterly ridiculous bug and it's even more ridiculous to let it be for this long. It impedes normal phone use and turns the phone in to handicapped device ready to compete in special olympics. Really it takes away A LOT from the feeling of having a factory quality device.

So does anyone feel like they've got the time to tell the complete story on this? Or even some info?

Hi all experienced users!

Just wondering what the simple multitap keyboard app is called, so that I can add it to my system if a custom ROM does not include it?

Looking for that basic, unskinned, eye-candy-free, spartan quickly-loading thingy :)

Many thanks!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
It's usually called: suqashi-input-method.apk (or squashi-input-method.apk)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] log53:
Great, thank you, found it.

I will have to read some more on how to recompile/reodex or.. eh.. sorry for the terminology babylon.. something to do with it for it to work with another rom/kernel? Or just copy into the system/app folder? As it would not install as a "3rd party" app via the package installer when I tried.

Cheers!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eagle Hawk:
Hello Everyone,

Need a big help.

I Have a Nexus 7 Wifi+Mobile

Had a stock installed version 4.2.2 JDQ39 - bootloader unlocked and rooted. [using the Nexus root toolkit]

Wanted to update it .... so whenever the OTA update gets downloaded I used to try to update it but it would always fail [ on 50% update error occurs with android laid back with red triangle ! ]

So this time tried by using the Nexus Root Toolkit. downloaded the 4.3 Stock rom from google

Using the 'Flash Stock + Unlock' but it didn't went well and when it got rebooted showed the screen 'no OS Installed' :mad::mad::mad:

I tried everything on the bootloader screen to restore the android file [that i backed up at the start ]

Then I downloaded the original 4.2.2 JDQ39

Installed it using the 'Flash Stock + Unlock' with 'Soft Brick/Bootloop', that also didn't work as it fired some missing CDOP or something.

Then tried doing the same by enabling the option of 'Force Flash' yes it installed well and booted too till the start screen.

Now the real bewildering behavior .....

1. Select Language - Selected English (united Kingdom)

2. Select Wi-Fi - Frozen saying 'Turning on Wi-Fi' [I have a good wifi connection and using that on my SGS2]

I waited for about 2 hours and on still the same screen. [find te frozen screen in the attachment]

Please help ........
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] butler0607:
If I were you I'd try a non-stock ROM. Pretty sure that screen is part of one of the GAPPS, so if you try and boot after flashing ROM but before flashing gapps, that should help you to figure out the issue
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eagle Hawk:
The initial stage screen is not the part of the gapps ..... if that would have been the case then any custom rom would have been a failure. Then there wont be a seperate GAPPS zip, instead just one whole ROM zip . And custom ROMs pass through the initial set-up even without flashing the GAPPS.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] George_Mn:
Update 11/19/13: I contacted Google and as they sent me a new n5, my old one is now on it's way "home".

I'll update again in case they don't accept it bc of my unlocked bootloader and custom recovery.

Thanks for everyone who tried to help!

What I know so far:

- Flashing Google's factory image does not change anything

- I have access to ADB and fastboot

- fastboot oem lock will be reverted after reboot

- fastboot flash recovery recovery.img succeeds, but as I boot to recovery there will always be twrp 2.6.3.0

- twrp keeps asking me for a password

- I can pull and push files, however all changes made seem to revert as I reboot

- I can't flash zip or factory reset through recovery

- I can't mount internal storage, cache, persist (only system)

- My phone will somehow boot to the welcome screen, but give me permanent fc's, I reached the settings once

- The guides on going back to stock etc succeed (in cmd), but actually it feels like no changes are beeing made

I will provide you any information you need, as long as you tell me how to get it.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maaximal:
I had the same issue.

I fixed it by booting into fastboot, doing a bootloader lock and then a bootloader unlock. All your data gets wiped and the storage gets formated.

But it worked for me and was worth the data loss

I can't. When flashing any other then twrp, upon booting recovery it still shows twrp.

Boot into the bootloader and use these commands:

fastboot format cache
fastboot format recovery
fastboot format system
fastboot format userdata

Then run the flash-all.bat

Report back.

Then just flash the recovery.img.

'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Daddy:
I've found some similar cases around xda. Specifically with the N7. When twrp asks for a password can you hit "back" to get to the menu where you are able to factory reset?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
You didn't happen to flash a recovery or boot image that was for a device other than the N5 did you? I think that would be one cause of what you are seeing.

There is still a way to recover the device by flash the stock TOT file in download mode.

Let me see if I can find the right DLL for the N5, and I'll post in this thread.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
It's asking you for a password because you didn't boot into android after flashing TWRP. For some reason, you cannot boot directly into TWRP right after any wipe (of userdata) without booting into Android first. It causes issues.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] George_Mn:
Nope, it was all fine for 3 days after unlocking, rooting and flashing twrp. Is it possible that my emmc is broken?

Is this a clue?

edit2: device gets warm on the upper half

should I wait or abort?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
It should, yes. You would need to flash the the stock TOT file (from this thread for example) using LGNPST. But you need the proper DLL for LGNPST to be able to communicate with your device. I'm still trying to locate it. (I have others looking into it as well.)

OEM DL mode doesn't seem to be working on my N5 with HHZ11a bootloader, neither using VolUp+VolDown+USB insert, as it is on N4 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2347060) nor by rebooting in DL mode with "fastboot oem dload".

Does that DLL switch to OEM DL mode from fastboot mode automatically?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
No, to enter download mode on the N5, hold down the volume up button, and then plug your N5 into your PC without letting go of the volume up button.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] catpunt:
I got into the same state you did OP where my phone wouldn't turn on, etc.

I followed the steps on a Windows 7 machine from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2347060

After installing everything it said to install, I tried holding down volume up and volume down for 2 seconds then plugging in USB and it did put it into bootloader mode. Thinking I might have fixed it I rebooted the device but it went back to the same bad state. After some fiddling I was eventually able get back into the bootloader again with this same method... but it didn't work right away. I tried a few things in between such as holding down volume up and volume down and power for 15 seconds in between. But eventually when I got it back into the bootloader I proceeded to erase/format all partitions, then did oem lock / unlock, then reverted to stock fully with flash_all.sh

Now it's functioning just fine. Give that a shot if you haven't done those exact steps (ie. installing all of those drivers and LG tools, and trying the combination of buttons on the N5 while plugging in the USB)

Edit: I should also mention that my phone had about 50% battery when it failed, so it wasn't completely dead. I don't know what would happen if the battery was completely dead... however I noticed that when it finally came back up after flashing it, the battery was at like 70%. So I suspect even though it seemed dead, it was still drawing a charge.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
Do you have an N4 or N5? If you have an N5, where did you get the DLL for it???
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] catpunt:
I just used the N4 one from that post. To be honest, I have no idea if any of those drivers had anything to do with it getting into the bootloader, but I followed the sequence on the original post exactly. My plan was to try to get the phone in to download mode and flash something to it, but it went to the bootloader before I had to even try flashing anything.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidKills:
Hmm i've had a similar problem before, i attempted to get twrp, a partition was messed with and everytime i would boot id have no service and constant fcs.

Did you try what maaximal said before? use the flash-all.bat that comes with the whole stock package?

because thats what i did and after going through that process i was able to go back to boot up normally ( no fc's ) and it gave me back stock recovery.

edit - sorry if you already tried it, it's just as i was reading the whole thread i didnt really see a reply to his suggestion.

edit 2 - And since you can reach fastboot and adb, you're still able to fix it. goodluck
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stepw:
Hmm, that doesn't seem to work either. Perhaps oem unlock is required for this to work, I'm still locked.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
The bootloader shouldn't need to be unlocked. Not sure why it's not working for you.

In any case, download mode is pretty much useless until we get the right DLL for the N5.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fosser2:
The dmesg shows bad blocks on your internal sd card. My guess is that its fried. You can try a full re-partition on it and maybe you can force it to re-allocate the bad blocks.

I believe mmcblk0 is the /system partition.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g33k3r:
I had a similar issue with my N5. What I did was download the cwm recovery and instead of fastboot flash recovery "recovery.img" I booted into it instead, fastboot boot "recovery.img" which got me into cwm recovery. Then I did a factory reset and also formated the system, data, and cache partition. Then I rebooted back into fastboot and then did the factory flash with the factory images. Try that out and see if it works. Good luck.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] George_Mn:
Unfortunately I have no clue how to do that :/ Would you mind helping me with this?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fosser2:
In TWRP or you would click format internal SD card. Then after that was done you could again try booting fastboot and refreshing the stock package like you have tried before.

TWRP --> WIPE --> ADVANCED WIPE --> CHECK ALL and accept.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
That will not re-partition...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fosser2:
